I'm looking for a new "joke a day" style webcomic. It doesn't have to update daily but what I'm not looking for is another serialized plot-based comic along the lines of Order of the Stick, Questionable Content, Girl Genius, Sluggy Freelance*, etc. Just a largely standalone comic to give me a few chuckles a few times a week. Also something still updating; I've already read the PBF archives.

Other stuff I'm sure I forgot without my tablet in front of me. Any suggestions?

*I used to like this back in the day when it WAS more of a 'joke of th day' format coupled with the plot but man that guy knows how to take characters and plot and just beat them into the ground until I can't care any more

I enjoy this one. It's probably a bit of an acquired taste sort of thing, though.

To make a long story short, I don't take any responsibility for anything I post here. It's not news, it's not truth, it's not serious. It's parody. It's satire. It's bitter. It's angsty. Your mother's a *****. You like to jack off dogs. That's right, you heard me. You like to grab that dog by the bone and rub it like a ski pole. Your dad? ***. Your priest? Straight. **** off and let me post. It's not true, it's all in good fun. Now go away.

Sadly, while I follow a fairly high number of them, the majority of the webcomics I read are serialized. The only one I might consider recommending is Shortpacked, but that's semi-serialized(at times it has long arcs, at times it's just jokes a few days in a row).

Same here, Girl Genius is awesome though.

I suspect that the ability to do a one-off joke per strip is far different (and perhaps more difficult) than drawing out plots over years or even a decade+. If anything, it's easier to read a few stand alone strips and decide if it's "good" than serialized plots that take forever to resolve and have the benefit of their format to recover from clunky individual strips/plots. I remember hitting a point in Girls With Slingshots where I realized "This is stupid and I hate all of these people" but it was a gradual transition. Then again, it took me far too long to realize that the hit:miss ratio for SMBC was about one good comic every three months.

Megacynics. Joke a day style, relatively new (only two years old I think?), and with a cute premise. (Canadian half brother and sister discover each other. He's a rich web 2.0 executive, she's an arty goth twenty years younger.)

And Oglaf didn't despite the graphic (***) *** in there. Just how bad is it?

That one had a NWS indication the first time it was mentioned. The other one didn't.

If you are posting a reference to something that contains **** in a thread where people are looking for things to go look at, and you don't slap a NWS on it of some sort, and someone does a search for it, loads it, and gets fired from work and complains, guess who is getting banned?
